Nov. 27, 2007 - THANKSgiving
What a wonderful and beautiful Thanksgiving weekend we had this year. We went to my parents' house and had a wonderful feast. On Friday we decided to go to the mountain with the kids. What fun we had. The sky was very blue and the snow what about 2 feet deep (that was my guess). The kids played and then learned a little about this active volcano we live near. The full moon was beautiful and at the end as we were getting into our car, the Lord let us see a little black, four legged, fluffy creature with a white tipped tail. It was a fox! It was so cute. We tried to get pictures, but because it was so dark and the fox was black all you could see in the picture was two glowing eyes. It was really quite funny. Saturday we relaxed and then spent three hours trying to find the tree lot we bought our tree at last year. At one point we were only two miles away from it and decided it must have been somewhere else...aaaauuuugghh! After that three hour search we got hungry so we gave up the hunt and went out for wood fired pizza. Sunday proved to be better tree hunting day (I am sure due to the fact that I asked google for directions...lol). We arrived half an hour before they closed and found just the right tree. The kids were having so much fun running through the "forest". The sounds of giggles from Michaela and laughter from the boys was music to my ears. They helped cut the tree down and since our oldest got to finish the last cut last year our second oldest insisted it was his turn this year. He was so proud, like a strutting rooster in a hen house full of hens. Dad carried out to the car and tied it down. As he slid off the back of the car roof the kids yelled "look it's Santa!" when all we could see were his feet and some legs. We then came home and had dinner and decorated our beautiful tree. Of course the kids' ornaments took up all the room and so my ornaments are still in their boxes. I think I need two trees if I am ever to get to put up my ornaments again before any of them move out.
